Steering rack in titanium for LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0

This steering rack is an RC-scale replacement part manufactured for the LOSI 5IVE-TE 3.0 1/5 electric 4WD desert truck platform. The part is machined from titanium using a wire-cut technique and carries the OEM reference LOS-3720. As-machined surface marks and occasional slight burrs are normal from the wire-cut finish, and light handling scratches may be visible; these do not compromise fit or load capacity.

Functionally the rack replaces the original steering tie and fits directly to the 5IVE-TE 3.0 chassis indicated below. When installing, confirm that the servo horn aligns correctly, that steering linkages clear during full travel, and that fasteners seat without binding. Remove any minute burrs carefully with a fine file to preserve smooth operation.

For tuning, the titanium rack provides a rigid attachment point for steering links which can stabilise steering feedback under load. Validate any setup changes progressively, beginning with bench checks and progressing to controlled track runs to assess handling.

Ensure compatibility with the listed LOSI chassis and examine the part for transit marks before fitting; apply appropriate threadlocker where your chassis manual advises.

Will this improve steering control on rough tracks?

The stiffer titanium mounting point can make steering inputs more predictable under load, which often improves control on rough terrain. Assess setup changes incrementally on the bench and in low-risk runs.

Is the wire-cut finish acceptable for RC use?

Yes. Wire-cut machining commonly leaves fine surface marks and occasional tiny burrs which are cosmetic; these do not affect the part's structural performance when used as intended.

Will my existing servo hardware work with this rack?

Compatibility with servo horns depends on your chosen horn and linkage geometry. Before final tightening, check that the horn and linkage positions permit full steering travel without binding.

When should I file down minor burrs?

If a burr interferes with smooth linkage movement, remove it carefully with a fine file. Do not alter critical mating surfaces; light dressing is sufficient.
